SSSANN~D much pleased with me, and he's worth half million"
 1t all passed through to where Guy had stood so long, spell-bound; unconscious that he should not stand there. Touched to the soul by the passionate weeping of of Hilda, love dying in his heart for 1nez it all came to him, through the dis tanco between, because fate had ordained that the door should be for half an hour ajar.
 The lame girl had subdued her cmo- tion, picked up her crutch, and left the drawing room before the young man re- covered presence of mind enough to glide quietly away and gain the hall by another door.
 That night his guests were rather sur prised to find that their handsome host scarcely left Hilda Dallas for moment; and perhaps some of them noticed also how sweet her face was, with its chang ing color and great shy eyes of purple with touch of pathos in their velvet depths; that night, for the first time, Guy saw beauty in another face than that of Inez Cameron-and for the first time a dull jealous pain made tho beautiful blonde realize that she would purchase half a million at too great cost did she give in exchange for it the love of Guy Handel.
 It was months later; Mrs. Nettie Len nox and the gay party she had brought with her for the summer to her old home were about to scatter themselves in diff ferent directions.
 Many an idyl had had it's begnning in those glad days of heat and sunshine, and few pleasant love dreams had died, that which Incz Cameron had so carclcssly laughed down a month before was in its shroud and coffin, and a warm, living love was stirring in every pulse of Guy, as, in the hush of still evening, he and Inez came face to face in the very spot which once saw him plead elcquently with her for her love.
 Sue was rarely, dangerously lovely as she smiled at him, but no pulse in Iii: heart stirred never so faintly while he turned to walk with her.
 'No," she said softly, 'let us remain here, Guy-right here where I was so unkind to you some weeks ago. You will forgive it all, will you nots I read my own heart more clearly now, and know made sad mistake" Her fair her hand on his arm and whispered, ''You understand me, do you not, GuyW
 He looked just little bit confused under the beautiful tender eyes.
 "I have nothing to forgive" he an swercd. "You were not more unkind tc mo than most women are under like cir. cumstances.
 "But-but was unkind to myself, ' she faltcrcd. q made sad mistake, Guy; it is not too late-if you love me still"
 Generously he interrupted her there.
 II am to be your cousin some day. he said softly, feeling as though he wa. dealing a blow on the flushed beauty o1 her dainty face. "IIilda has prom scd to Ioco,po ,pu xyifn ,1
 "Hilda Dallas 2'
 There was passionate pain, incrcdulity, wonder, in the silvery tones.
 "You will marry Hilda2 But you dt not love her-you who loved me month ago! Tell her the truth and she will re lease you; she is generous.
 "She is the girl love-" he uttered sternly. "She is true and tender, and more to me than any being on earth Make no mistake, Miss Cameron, cared for you when we last met here, but ar hour after we had parted d-while yet the wound was fresh and smarting-I knev what folly such an affection was for m to cherish. From words which I over heard you say, l was convinced tha you had made no mistake in rejecting me, but did it because MT. Jarvis wa pleased with you and had half million An hour after you had sl urned my love it was dead in my life; another, pur and sweet, and tender, stole to m througha door ajar, and thank Heaver fer the gift. Miss Cameron I thinl somebody is coming; compose your self"
 She forced the color back into he acc and stilled the trembling of he figure as slight halting form appeared down the isle of shade.
 Guy hastened forward, met Hilda, an' drew her hand through his arm.
 My darling," said he to her, 'I hay seen Dr. Blank about your ankle, and h says there is a surety of cure if you vii place yourself under his care for half year. What will you do. my littl swcetheart?'
 II will do whatever you desire, dea Guy," she answered softly, and in tn dimness of the little glen he bent an kissed her, unmindful of the blue burn ing eyes upon him, which belonged t the woman who but loved when she ha lost him.
 Six months later Hilda flung aside he crutch and married Guy. Inez marie Mir. Jarvis.
